    The noise is the twinkle motor. Basically blocking different fibre optic cables to give a twinkle effect. Although the noise is quite loud compared to mine. But its just a rotating disc might just need some lubricant.

    The only point of the audi a1, BMW 1 series, and Mercedes A-class are for those who want a "luxury brand" but can't comfortably afford them. None of them really represent what the brand is about but allows the owner to say they have an Audi, etc.
    The biggest problem is even if there the cheapest cars of the brand the replacement parts and services are still luxury brand prices.

    I enjoyed watching this video, whoever installed the headlining must have gone to some effort installing all the fibre optics! It wouldn't be my choice, not sure if the black finish on the alloys works! Might be better in silver or grey. But down to personal choice thanks 👍

    I'd agree deffo a richer 1st time drivers car I saw around sixth form in 2015 when they took off. Also seen as a more sensible & deffo cheaper to insure than A3/S3's. Polo vs Golf description fits very well to me imo. Although I read Audi were pulling back from these cause the £ margins weren't great & will get worse with emissions regs?

    Buying at auction several variables. Private pumters bidding against traders can push prices up. Another 5 🌟 valet from Jordan. The headling is personal choice personally,I would keep it switched off. Again, I appreciate your honest review Joe.

    All the goodness from this car was taken with the paintwork fee but as you said win some loose some 1300 profit is more than the minimum wage for a month so still a good return

  • @larna-nicole6205

    Not nitpicking but how can you put a car on your forecourt when you still have bits and pieces to finish it off eg the wheels on the Audi? I nearly spelt Aldi lol. Good luck with a quick sale on it. 🤞👍

    I think the point of the A1 is the target market. A1 targets female drivers wanting a cute car, whereas the a3 attracts males moreso .
    Not sure whether that was intentional by audi, but certainly how it turned out

  • @asdfga1234
    @asdfga1234 Рік тому

    I dont think the A1 had ISO FIX in the back? and it wasn't really a family car. IE load lip and you can't fit a buggy in the back. But the older A1s were exceptionally well built compared to the new a3's
